GENERATIONS : FAMILY PHOTO GALLERY

Karen Tongue


My paternal Grandfather, William Arthur Wheeler, his wife Lillian Cosier and their first born Lillian May Wheeler. Appears to be a studio portrait but there are no names on the print itself. Lillian bore 11 children between 1911 and 1931, sadly she then died in 1933 from breast cancer and secondary liver cancer. My father believed that his mother was 'disowned' as she had married out of their Jewish faith. However, I can find no record of a Jewish connection and believe it was more likely she was 'disowned' for being pregnant before she was married. From Census records I note she was living with her brother shortly before she got married.

Sophia Oliver


In this picture we are all family. As you can see we are a very multicultural family. All the younger girls are first cousins and the older ladies are sisters. Our Nanny was born in the Himalayas and was brought up in Assam where she met our Grandad. He was Irish and they married and came back to UK. But not Birmingham, Newcastle. They moved to Birmingham to work on coal mines around 20 years after. My father's dad was brought up in Jamaica. He is Chinese Jamaican and my Grandad owned Fenkys Pattys in Hockley. My Nanny Fay was Jamaican. So, me Sophia cara, I feel one of a kind when I need to tick the box about my nationality, there isn't a box for me..... so I call myself a cocktail full of love
